I'm not exactly sure about the scheduling, but I do know you have to be available m-f 7am to 7pm, but we won't be in class the whole time it will vary each semester. Also another nursing student told me each semester lasts 4 months and then classes change. I guess we'll find out the details on Thursday I'm so excited to start as well see you there!

First of all, congratulations!!
Did you take your VN at the San Diego campus?
Are you transferring any classes in beside your LVN classes? Which should include Fundies, OB, PEDs and Pharmacology.

I'll try to answer what I can. The schedule probably changes with each new term, so I can only speak in general.

First semester for LVN students included academic strategies, role transitions and any general ed classes that were not transferred.

When I was in my first term, the strategies class lasted for 4 weeks held Friday morning, then we went straight to Role transitions, also held on Friday mornings. A and P 1 with lab and other GE classes are held during the rest of the week.

Many LVNs took A and P 1 with lab on M/W. class in the morning with lab after lunch.

The GE classes are all different and depend on which semester the GE's are placed.

I am also intersted in the San Diego Kaplan LVN-RN program. How long does it take you to finish the program? And does that give you an associates when you finish if you ever want to go on to get your BSN? I am an LVN and am really wanting to start getting towards my RN but am trying to figure out the best route to start. Any input would be helpful.

Sorry for the delay here.

The LVN-RN is 20 months at Kaplan.
You do come out with an ASN.
Make sure you check with the colleges that you might consider for your BSN. You may not be able to transfer to a WASC accredited school, but it really depends on the school.

Hi All,
Just wanted to check in and see how the program is going, for you all??
I'm halfway thru Semester 1 and so far so good.. Went in with one of my fellow Kaplan VN alum buds, and we are both doing great..
I would highly recommend the program, very good so far.. all of the soon- to- be grads are very insightful.
